Evaluate models

Know where your model works and where it fails.

Build evaluation datasets, rubrics and human review workflows for model quality, safety, reasoning, retrieval, tool use and full agent trajectories.

Built around the real work

Capabilities that move a model from promising to useful.

Choose the parts of the data and quality workflow that match the behavior, market or modality you are building for.

BUILD

Designed for the next decision, not the last task.

Every capability is shaped around downstream use: what the model needs to learn, what reviewers need to judge and what your team needs to ship with confidence.

Talk through your workflow

Reasoning & complex tasks

Expert-created tasks, detailed rubrics and reference solutions for technical and analytical work.

02

Safety & policy behavior

Refusal quality, harmful-content handling, jailbreak resilience, policy adherence and adversarial behavior.

03

Retrieval & RAG

Document relevance, groundedness, citation support, context use and retrieval failure cases.

04

Tool use & decisions

Whether the agent selected the right tool, supplied valid arguments and stayed within permitted scope.

05

Agent trajectories

Evaluate tool paths, unnecessary steps, recovery, loops, policy gates and final task completion.

Don’t grade an agent like a chatbot

Measure outputs, decisions and the path between them.

For simple tasks, the final answer may be enough. For agents, evaluation must also test tool selection, arguments, retrieval, trajectory and recovery behavior.

  • Final response quality and evidence support
  • Tool selection, argument validity and policy gates
  • Ordered or acceptable alternative trajectories and recovery

The operating model

Turn one-off testing into a regression system.

Keep the benchmark connected to the product behavior it is meant to protect.

01

Define success

Translate product requirements into measurable dimensions and failure taxonomies.

02

Build dataset

Curate real, synthetic and adversarial cases with references or expected trajectories.

03

Calibrate graders

Align humans and automated evaluators on rubrics, examples and edge cases.

04

Benchmark

Compare models, prompts, retrieval strategies or agent versions on the same set.

05

Loop failures

Promote important production failures into the benchmark and targeted training data.

Quality that holds up in production

Use the right judge for the question.

No single evaluator works for every task. Combine deterministic checks, model-based graders and calibrated human experts based on ambiguity and risk.

  • Deterministic and code-based checks where rules are clear
  • LLM-as-judge and reference comparison with calibration
  • Human expert scoring, pairwise comparison and adjudication

What arrives at the end

Deliverables your team can use.

Clear outputs, stable structure and the context needed to move the work into training, evaluation or production.

Where it fits

Model releases

Compare versions against the same representative test set.

RAG systems

Separate retrieval relevance, groundedness and answer faithfulness.

AI agents

Score tool decisions, trajectories, recovery and final outcomes.

Safety programs

Create policy edge cases and review behavior under adversarial pressure.

Start with the outcome

Build an eval set your team can run every release.

Start with the behaviors that matter most in production. We’ll help define the benchmark, rubric, expert profile and evaluation workflow around it.
